Lyrics



Walked to my girl's place the other day,


Stopped and picked her a sweet bouquet.


When I got there, she was on her way


With her new boyfriend in his new Chevrolet.




Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me


So I got me a car, the best that I could do


It was a lime green, two door Malibu


Drove it on over just to give her a view


She said "I'm not drivin' in no '72!"




Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me


So I took my girl out for a little treat


It was a greasy spoon on a shady street


The waitress yelled before we took our seat


"If you ain't got the dough, then you don't get to eat!"








Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me




So I took my girl down to the corner dance hall,


We were cuttin' a rug, we were wall to wall,


I was plying my baby with alcohol,


Til the booze ran out and she started to stall


She looked in my wallet and said "That's all?"


I looked in there too and started to bawl because


Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me


That's the truth, that's all I got to say


You got to do what you can with the hand that you play


Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be OK


But if you got a little extra, you can throw it my way 'cuz


Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me

Nice boogie Woogie. Nice playing, love the live musicians! Big plus. Cool concept... bro this is more blues than rock. Good recording for live, I can tell this was a professional session in a nice studio, thank you for that and the live musicians. I really loved the lyric concept, something we musicians can really relate to.
